It takes approximately nineteen thousand winedbg processes to fill up 32 gigabytes of RAM.
Is it angry at me because I blew up a steam locomotive's boiler in Derail Valley earlier?
Steam client scares me.

I fear no binary, but that thing...it scares me
Why is that? I use it because it convienient and it works (for me). But what's a reason to not use it? Is it unstable, or resource intensive? I only have a couple of games less than ten years old.
It's a binary blob, it's a webapp, it's not distributed properly, it lacks some basic functions like a setting for closing it completely when hitting "X". We no likey.
perhaps because it's proprietary or still X11-only
iirc they have both a 64-bit bit version and a wayland version of steam on the beta branch, so they're at least branching out (though it remains proprietary and almost certainly always will)
You should probably know that actual steam is not beneficial to game performance on Steam.
Ah this happened to me this weekend! Not the train explosion, but the winedbg flood. For me, it was because I had my proton and steam Linux runtime installations on an NTFS disk instead of something more Linux native.
It's actually woking better for me now. I think they fixed GPU acceleration on Nvidia
So greasy its nickname is now Burger
